NOW I feel very sad and down. because I don't understand what ANYONE could do with this stuff. if its a painting. you don't see that kind of stuff stuffed under glass. and as it has no backbone to it. so how could you ever think to have it framed? this is really is the only thing I have to paint on. and wanted to try to make some stuff to try to get some money off of. I am at artiest block now! what can I do?

I've taken them to the framing places, and they are able to either mount them on a flat surface and frame that, or build a wood frame to stretch it over, and then frame that. Either way, it costs about the same (don't remember the prices, but they said that they were pretty much the same) and it seemed like it was a fairly standard procedure for them.
